In the Clouds

Everyone wants a lover who's tender and open, but you went too far. Your soft, white underbelly was exposed to the world, while you practically begged your mates to walk on you, to ignore your feelings in favor of tending to their own. It was sweetly intentioned, and you were adored for your sensitive nature, but it didn't leave a lot of energy for your own ambitions -- and your feelings were often left unexpressed too as you rushed to do everything for your sweetie.

And here's the really bad news: Your selflessness actually caused a rift in your relationship, because you didn't let your lover know the real you.If this relationship was going to survive, it would have had to be dragged into the here-and-now. It was romantic and fun to rush around making grand gestures, but the real measure of a relationship is how it holds up under tedious daily stresses. Paying the bills together should be as important and easy as enjoying a romantic dinner; your lives must fit together seamlessly. You needed to spend more time with your lover engaged in everyday pursuits: work, errands, chores. It wouldn't have been as fun as the heady idylls, but it would have helped inject some balance into your rather insubstantial pairing.
